Di Worrall

Patrick Egan The last time I had tried Kayaking was on a lake while on a school trip age 14 some 37 years ago, so a novice as too was Riana. From the time we made our initial enquiry the communication from Di & Wayne was first class. We were very clear on what to bring to the venue. The only shame was that Emma missed out on the splendid expedition,(having injured her knee on a hike a couple of days before) Taking in spectacular tranquil scenery along the 15 mile stretch of the Wye that we travelled,Wayne's instruction was concise. Wayne gave meaningful explanations and limited exposure to the risks. Riana had been naturally anxious about tackling the Symonds Yak Rapids approximately nine miles down river from our starting point. I gained my confidence from Wayne who was adamant that none of us would be departing from our Kayaks unexpectedly. Nevertheless I managed to give Wayne a few moments of concern as I rocked from side to side entering the rapids, desperately trying to compute what Wayne had told me and look at his hand signals too. Despite not arriving at the safety of the eddy Wayne had advised, I descended in tact upright. Riana achieved the same in two stages and with far more finesse. Wayne was an excellent guide through his instruction, humour anecdotes and interesting facts about the area. Wayne was able to point out a Kingfisher, Buzzards and we encountered to quote a phrase " a game of swans" personally I have never seen so many in one place. Wayne by his own admission, a keen film fan showed us where a scene from the Harry Potter Deathly Hallows film had taken place. This was not surprising as the whole area captures your imagination. Many thanks to Di and Wayne, executed like a military exercise but in chilled fashion. They clearly know the area which is invaluable. A great experience which proved to be great value for what was virtually one to one tuition, whilst being perfectly equipped. We will return again and would recommend this particularly if you lack experience or are not familiar with the river.

Myself and two of my friends did the half day kayaking. All three of us being relative beginners we didn't know what to expect but it was fantastic! The trip down the river is beautiful, with local landmarks being pointed out as you travel. Wayne and Di were fantastic- we booked fairly last minute and had to get the medical forms filled in but because we were camping at the same time couldn't complete them and Di just printed the forms off for us and it wasn't a issue at all. Wayne was great, really funny, explained everything really clearly and kept us out of any difficulty. I'd defiantly go again- thanks so much to Di and Wayne for a lovely morning!

​Our party of 5 adults and 10 children spent a great afternoon on the Mallard Pike Lake with Way2Go Adventures constructing and then paddling rafts using barrels, logs and ropes. Wayne and Di were great at getting everything organised for us and we had a great time. Wayne made the rope tying very simple for all ages (7 to 48) to understand and everyone was included at each stage. Overall great fun and highly recommended!

We booked a guided tour down the river from Monmouth - Wayne immediately made us feel welcome and at ease, even my 5 yo daughter. We had a super trip down the river where Wayne showed us some secluded inlets and some of the rich wildlife the Wye has to offer, inc kingfishers which made my day. Extremely knowledgable, good kit and very hospitable; wouldn't hesitate to book again.

​Great family outing, relaxed and fun way to travel down The Wye. Wayne made us feel totally comfortable and safe, made the trip interesting and enjoyable. Definitely recommend a Guided Canoe Trip.
